Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Eight – "Ascension Overflow"
The Abyssal Rift pulsed violently as the defeated monsters dissolved into pure essence. Crow stepped into the heart of the dungeon—a pulsing black spire of corrupted crystal. At its peak floated a glowing orb, wrapped in divine chains.
[You have absorbed enough energy from the Rift.]
[Unique Evolution Triggered.]
The world paused.
[Congratulations. Due to your Title: Reincarnated Monarch and Talent: Infinite Potential…]
[You have unlocked 5 SSS Rank Skills:]
Plague Sovereign – Infect the world itself. Your diseases evolve with every kill, spreading passively and ignoring resistance. Chrono Collapse – Fold time into destruction. Freeze, rewind, or fast-forward reality in a localized area. Godspark Ascension – Tap into divine lightning, striking with celestial power. Boosts all attributes temporarily and summons god-tier bolts. Blackstar Genesis – Create a blackstar core, devouring all light and energy nearby. It grows stronger with consumed mana and souls. Echo of the First Flame – Manifest the original fire of creation, burning through time, space, and concept. Deals true damage.
[Warning: Your power is approaching conceptual-tier.]
Crow's aura flared violently, the space around him distorting. Even the Rift trembled.
Lyravex and Rose fell to their knees behind him, overwhelmed. "M-Master… what are you becoming?" Lyravex whispered.
Rose only smiled, eyes wide in worship.
Crow looked down at his hands, now glowing with cosmic energy.
"I'm just getting started."
A new quest appeared.
[Transcendent Threat Detected: A World Boss is now aware of your presence.]
[Difficulty: ???]
[Survive the arrival of a Conceptual Devourer.]
Crow smiled.
"Let it come."
